Chapter 25 : I Shouldn't Have Pitied Her

The two figures stood in the shadows, and their faces couldn't be seen.

"Ha Sungwoon, you'd better pretend that nothing happened tonight."

It was another person's voice. It wasn't as cold, but rather, it had a hint of cynicism. "I've made a copy of all the videos on your phone. You don't want me to post your dirty hobbies online, do you?"

Not only did Ha Sungwoon have a unique habit, but he also liked to take videos. He recorded many of his violent actions and would occasionally admire himself with great interest.

He had specially set up an encrypted folder in his phone to store these videos.

Alas, he didn't expect that he'd still be exposed like this. If those videos were released, not only would Ha Sungwoon be destroyed but Longxing Real Estate would also be implicated.

Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead. "Don't worry; I won't call the police. I'll stay quiet..."

No one responded to him in the dark room. Soon after, the door opened, and the two black figures disappeared.

Throughout the process, Ha Sungwoon didn't get a clear look at the two people's faces except for their voices.

Later, he found out that the Octagon Club had been out of power for ten minutes from 2:37 to 2:47. This was extremely rare, but the technicians couldn't find the cause. In the end, they could only conclude that there might've been a short fault in the circuit.

Ha Sungwoon still had a lingering fear.

The two of them could enter the suite on the 18th floor of the Octagon Club and cut off their electricity for ten minutes. They were indeed impressive.

The other party's threat was still ringing in his ears. So Ha Sungwoon didn't dare to call the police, nor did he dare to risk his company's reputation. Instead, he treated it as if he'd suffered a loss in silence and didn't make a sound.

In the cold night, Kim Mingyu looked at Jungkook worriedly.

His face was sullen. Additionally, he didn't say a word, and his gaze was cold.

Mingyu and Jungkook had known each other for many years. In his heart, Jungkook had always been a cold and aloof top student with excellent character and academic performance.

However, tonight, Mingyu saw another side of Jungkook. Bold but careful, heartless and even a little cruel.

Mingyu wasn't surprised that Jungkook had hacked into the Octagon Club's central control system. After all, It was just a piece of cake for him.
